Thanks guys you are so so supportive and boy does it help :-)

Can I just check that all we need is the money for the fee and 3 copies of our form signed?

Thanks, I'll let you know how we get on, although not at a computer until later on in the evening.

Thanks again, I don't think I would know half as much as I do if I hadn't have found this site and you people x

Well....... All done! Was real nervous this morning and a bit emotional. Got to court at 10am and waited around. The guy who did our papers was very nice. We then went upstairs where the usher took the papers through to the judge, judge didn't want to see us, sent us over to a different building to see the OR. I was most nervous about having to see the judge as really didn't want to go in a court room, so thankfully we didn't have to! OR was very nice but as soon as we got in the room and she was going through the questions I broke down in tears and couldn't stop crying, I think my Husband was more concerned about me than the BR! Anyway, Or was fine and has arranged OH telephone interview for Tues and mine for next Friday.

She explained that OH could carry on self employment but that his car would be taken away as its on a loan - bummer, not sure how he's gonna trade without a car being a driving instructor and all?! She did say that they would offer him £2000 for a replacement which is fantastic of them so hopefully that all works out?!

I must say it feels very weird and if anything I feel more emotional now than I have done over the last 6 months. It's not really over until we've had the OR calls but I suppose the main part is done. I just feel really embarrassed and felt like everyone was looking down at us in court. I am finding myself welling up and crying randomly this afternoon but hopefully that will pass :-/

Thanks for all your support and helpful words of wisdom, it definitely was ok in the end and not as bad as I imagined or as bad as it could have been so thanks guys x x

Well done for getting through the day. It's not easy.

One step at a time is my advise.

Keep posting and you'll get the support and advise of many who have been there and got the t-shirt.

Take care and you husband is right, you ARE more important that the BR. Well done Mr Driving Instructor Beard.
